For my NESp that I'm trying to finish before MGC (that I started last year to finish before last year's MGC lol) I am using an old modem/router case. On the front the DLINK logo is regressed into the case and I would like to smooth it out and paint over it. It's not really a hole or a crack so I am not sure which product to use; what would be the cleanest, easiest, and fastest to use and dry. I would need something that is available at a hardware or craft store like Home Depot or Hobby Lobby/Micheal's as anything I would order online would not make it in time.
Here are some pics and thanks for the help on what is probably a really nooby question haha.
What would be the best product to smooth out this case?

I'd go with epoxy. Seems the best option in this situation.

if that area doesnt flex much bondo/spot putty would work fine. if it does flex a bit then plastic weld (like i posted about in my GBOsnes thread) or some sort of epoxy would be stronger

I think it would be best to sand it flat instead of using a filler, so there's no lump in the end product.

I use bondo glazing putty or liquid ABS for things like that. The ABS I'm using has a consistency of honey, and works well for this.
